Have you ever wished you could use your smartphone as your primary PC? There are various ways to achieve that, but how about this instead: the GPD Pocket 4. This is a handheld PC with an 8.8" screen. That puts it on the high end of "phablet" size, yet still arguably pocketable. Despite the small size, it comes equipped with a twelve-core AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 SoC, a 144-Hz QHD+ display, up to 64GB of RAM, and M.2 SSDs up to 4TB.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Probably one of the most famous UMPCs was the Sony Vaio UX, with its groundbreaking slide up screen and palm sized form factor. However the Kohjinsha SC3, Fujitsu U810 and the venerable OQO model 1 were among the most desirable of these pocket sized PCs back in the UMPC heyday. They were largely replaced with the truly awful, but extremely cheap “Netbook” like the Asus EEE PC, and these days your only options are thin and light notebooks or gaming handhelds. However, there are still some devices around that resemble, or outright replicate the UMPC formula and there isn’t a joypad in sight.
